It might be interesting to do "Text" Adventure rather than
Zork...was Collosal Cave smaller than Zork? Or the other way
around with Zork being a subset of....anyway, a more humble
text adventure than the mighty zork might be worth pursuing...
The advantage of doing Zork would be that (hopefully) you would end up with
generic Z-machine interpreter, so you could make many Infocom games run on
the 2600. There's a guy that's ported the Z-machine interpreter to many
platforms, so I'm sure he could provide specs on how the Z-machine works
and I have his C source code on my drive right now. Plus I believe there
are some tools out there to make your own Z-machine compatible text
adventure.
You know another cool text adventure to port would be "Adventure". :o)
